Well, now that's interesting...

This is the standard Airstream installation package that I'm dealing with. The circuit in question includes the fridge, the convertor and the outlets under the front window and above the bathroom sink.

I suspect that the problem has to do with either the fact that I've been in SUBSTANTIAL amounts of snow the last couple of days, or (more likely) that I ran it through a car wash the other day and may have sprayed a fair amount of moisture into (for example) the fridge and hot water heater areas on the
curb side.

IN any event, the problem had gone away (that is the GFI circuit remained untripped) for about an hour last night, after I'd gotten back to the trailer from work). Then -- snap! -- off it went again, and still wouldn't let me flip it for more than ten seconds this morning. Something's still very wet, methinks...

Any ideas?
